Cats and cancer

Last year, our cat Archie developed a fatal cancer, and we had to have a vet come out to give him a lethal injection. We buried him in the garden and this year grew huge bunches of catnip over his grave. Now our big rangy ditz of a feline, Hexer, also has cancer, this time of the intestine--and quite probably throughout his lymphatic system. It's fatal also, and so we will be putting him down later this week too. Not only am I greatly upset by this (and Hans is too), I am afraid for our other cats and for ourselves--I suspect that we may have a radon problem.
